Chapter 503 King of Heaven! The Living Flame of the Burning Era! The Era of Chaos Demon Gods?
The pale glow above the second orb dissipated, and what appeared before Lu Yu's eyes was actually a...
Paper!
A piece of paper covered with distorted, obscene writing.
The dense, writhing shadows covered the paper, constantly shifting and emanating a terrifying pollution.
Ordinary living beings would suffer a mental breakdown and develop abnormalities simply from looking at the content, let alone touching it.
Even a true king must be cautious when perusing it, lest he be corrupted by higher-dimensional knowledge, which could even erode the law and cause eternal trauma...
"Fancy and gaudy."
Lu Yu picked up the paper, ignoring the contamination it emitted, and used the Eye of Truth to search for the corresponding text and translate it.
Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.
It turns out to be the earliest written rules from the primordial era, the script used for communication between the gods.
Come to think of it, only they can freely peruse the rules.
With such encrypted communication, even if any object were obtained, it would only bring disaster and would not reveal the secrets contained within.
"When the stars... return to their rightful place... the ancient moon... anchors the three primordial elements, the old sun rises, and within the constellation of Mao, the black star is conceived. [Unclear] will awaken from chaos, [Unclear] will cast its gaze, and all will come to an end... Praise be to the great... Eternal... King of the Heavens... Mother of the Sun... the living flame ignites the era..."
The text suddenly turned into a large number of corrections, covered by a heavy force of mental distortion, and the content became messy and disordered.
"There is no truth...only chaos...no soul...only desire...no morality...only play...no wisdom...and madness..."
"That's it?"
Lu Yu was engrossed in reading when it abruptly stopped. He glanced at the paper and discovered that the rest of the text was missing.
It's unclear whether it was erased or whether the crazed paper god simply didn't write it down.
Could it be that just because these things were recorded, a supreme being was shattered?
"But it didn't cover much; it was all vague and ambiguous. Or does it mean that only by collecting the original magic tome can the complete content be restored?"
Lu Yu pondered, considering that the other party held some power over destiny, and it might also be a prophecy about the future, involving intervention in the future.
The Eye of Truth has said that the past belongs to history, the present belongs to the present, and the future belongs to taboo.
They hold the future in their hands and possess limitless possibilities.
The information recorded above is not much, mainly mentioning five main characters: the Stars, the Black Star, the Old Ones, the King of Heaven, and the Mother of the Sun.
For the stars to return to their correct positions, it is highly likely that the original starry sky has been completely lost with the destruction of the Starry Dynasty in the Dark Star Region.
Only a few top star families' progenitors and star-kinds are suspected of possessing the coordinates of the original starry sky.
The meaning of "Black Star" is unclear; it is unknown whether it refers to some ancient entity or a dark star.
The Old Days are easy to understand; they are the shadow of the Supreme Sun, the source of the Old Days in the long river of history, and possess the power to bury the gods.
The Mother of the Sun likely refers to the Mother of Twilight, or perhaps to Her after completing the ritual and successfully consuming the Supreme Sun.
Each one corresponds to something that will happen in a chaotic era.
But only the King of Heaven…
Lu Yu was unsure of its meaning.
After all, the Paper God was a top-tier and great being before. Even after descending into the main world, despite being suppressed by the mortal ecosystem, he still possessed demigod-level combat power.
Not to mention that one day in the future, the main world's suppression of the gods will be lifted.
Although Lu Yu has not yet become a king, it seems that a true king is not qualified to participate in a battle of this level.
After he becomes king and masters the laws of truth, he will have the right to do so.
After all, as his rank continued to rise, Lu Yu could feel that his speed of returning to the truth was increasing exponentially.
The higher the rank, the faster the regression speed!
After all, it's the complete form of the Eye of Truth, but...
The all-knowing and all-powerful eye!
It seems that I am not far from truly grasping the key to forbidden truth.
Furthermore, the paper god mentioned something that would awaken from chaos and shamelessly claimed that there is no truth.
This made Lu Yu very suspicious of the Paper God's mental state at the time.
However, it also revealed the direction of his future.
Moreover, Lu Yu had tested it; this paper was extremely hard, and even a full-force strike from the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear couldn't leave a mark on it. It was also incredibly flexible—just a single sheet…
The indestructible paper!
It likely originated from the paper god, in a position similar to the "reverse scale" of the dragon race.
In a sense, it is also a magical artifact.
As for how to use it...
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then folded it. Although it was very hard, it was quite flexible. After turning it into a shirt, he put it on, which just covered his vital organs, concealing them with the outer clothing.
If someone tries to sneak up on him and rip out his heart, he can block it and, in turn, spread the pollution of the paper god.
It's practically a legendary weapon!
"From this day forward, you are the prized possession of the 'bullying the weak' school!"
Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked at the third ball of light.
As the light faded, three blank seeds of law appeared.
This was not unexpected for Lu Yu. After all, if a complete ancient god did not have the seed of law, then he would have to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Chaos Egg.
"roar!"
Red Hare spotted the Seed of Law at first glance, then summoned a screen that played a loop of footage of himself working diligently along the way.
Red Hare squeezed out a few drops of oil from its eyes to show that it had done a great service and that its master would never forget it.
Watching the drama queen's performance, Egg quietly stretched out its paw and crushed several IV drip power banks floating behind Red Hare, putting them into low-power standby mode.
However, Red Hare was smarter this time. It prepared energy blocks in advance and then quickly charged up due to anger, almost getting into a fight with Egg.
In the end, it was the little spider who mediated and prevented a commotion.
As for the three incarnations of the rat—the Radiant Red Dragon Ant, the Three Calamities Peacock, and the Thousand-Faced Spirit Demon—they have long been under the command of the rat's clones.
A group of adorable hamsters looked at Lu Yu with expectant eyes.
"We believe that Xiu Ren will not let the little mice down!"
"Yes, Xiu Ren must have prepared everything for us!"
"The mice will go through fire and water for the sake of the cultivators!"
"Three seeds of law, three incarnations, just enough to defeat the evil rat itself. No middlemen, perfectly receiving the love of cultivators!"
"???" The mouse itself was completely confused.
What a bunch of traitors!
The rat clones were already dreaming of a bright future, prompting Red Hare to scoff disdainfully, implying that one of them would definitely be his, and then...
They started arguing!
Finally, faced with this chaotic situation, Lu Yu quickly made a decision.
This time, the Law Seeds will be given to Red Hare, Black Dragon Ant, and the Three Calamities Peacock to convert them into combat power.
As for the Thousand-Faced Demon, it has just arrived and can absorb desires to grow, so there is no need to waste precious resources.
As for Luwa, she was not interested in the Seed of Law, nor did she like fighting; she only wanted to stay by her father's side.
We'll never be apart!
The last ball of light was naturally the seventh divine beast of the ranch.
As the light faded, a massive, three-meter-tall black book with a single eye appeared before Lu Yu. Its mere presence cast a terrifying shadow.
You should know...
This is still under the suppression of the ranch. Only when it is released and the animal leaves the ranch will its true divine and monstrous nature be revealed.
gurgle gurgle!
On this living grimoire, the single eye slowly turned, looking at Lu Yu, its dark, deep eyes devoid of any emotion.
Just when Zhu Ri thought this guy was defiant and needed to be taught a lesson, he saw words condense in front of the magic book.
[Your most loyal servant—the Codex of Fate—offers the highest tribute to the great rancher!]
In addition, a whole host of flowery praises appeared, extolling him from beginning to end.
Ok……
It smells like a lackey.
Lu Yu was speechless; the style of these recent prodigies was getting stranger and stranger.
Crushing gears are a capitalist's best friend.
The Twilight Twins are ruthless and cruel, torturing the Divine Sinner to the point of being worse than an animal.
Now another sycophantic lackey has arrived.
However, to be fair, as someone who evolved from the paper god who records knowledge, he speaks with true culture, and every word he says touches the heart.
But Lu Yu is a very pragmatic person. If someone can't create value, no matter how nicely they speak, it's useless. He simply hands them over to Zhu Ri for management.
Flattering superiors who are above their rank is not a good thing.
The Book of Fate Seals was clever and quickly revealed its abilities.
You can cover the minds of the abominations with paper, stopping them from daydreaming and putting them into an over-feeding state, greatly increasing their efficiency in consuming soul pasture and accelerating the gestation of abomination products.
Even the effects of the product will be improved.
The only side effect... is that you will experience a period of lethargy.
It's like mortgaging your future.
But the key is... Twilight Geminis can keep themselves excited through their own radiance.
Broken Gear can customize the perfect worksheet to maximize the value of the abominations.
There will definitely be side effects, but they can be delayed until decades or even centuries later.
This is what is called...
Sustainability is like draining the pond to catch all the fish!
But Lu Yu has only been around for three years, yet he already possesses the combat power of an ecological master. Decades later, the chaotic era may have already ended, or he may have even become a king or returned to the forbidden realm.
Even if the side effects of the divine abominations erupt, it doesn't matter if they take a period of rest and recuperation.
Let's collect the taxes first.
There will always be successors!
Moreover, after these papers are covered, they will imprint the divine beings' understanding of their own path, and be made into jade slips for transferring skills and enlightenment stones similar to those in the world of immortals and heroes, to assist in the improvement of the same path.
Moreover, in order to impress Lu Yu, the Codex of Fate claimed that it was a book that did not need to rest and could record the progress of the ranch every second for the great rancher.
This sight brought Zhu Ri both joy and some worry...
This guy is starting to threaten my status as a sycophant!
"very good!"
Lu Yu was very pleased with this and directly appointed the Codex of Fate to the leadership, even placing it half a level higher than the Broken Gear and the Twilight Twins, under the direct jurisdiction of Sun Chaser.
Upon hearing the news, the black goat nearly collapsed to its knees.
They have no time to rest, and they have to face everything with a smile every day, even if it means being squeezed dry.
Now, they're even trying to cover their minds, recklessly mortgaging their future!
The future looks bleak!
Broken Gear and Twilight Twins also looked solemn, never expecting that there would be such a brave subordinate who would challenge their status as lackeys.
If this continues, they too may become victims of exploitation.
We must find a way to undermine their position!
Even the sleeping toad sensed something was wrong.
But...it...is...too...lazy...to...think...
I'm going to sleep now...we'll talk about it later.
I observed all of this with detached indifference each day. As long as it didn't affect the ranch's production efficiency, appropriate struggle was beneficial in mobilizing enthusiasm and diverting conflict.
Lu Yu paid no attention to the infighting and backstabbing on the ranch.
Using the latest Black Goat's Hair, upgrade the Twilight Robe to the Eternal Giant level, and extend its tentacles to Ten Thousand Tentacles.
The slumbering toad venom enhances proficiency in celestial breathing.
The Moon Bull produces [Gene Milk]. Although it's a bit strange that the bull produces milk, it has extremely strong functionality. When consumed by its followers, it can optimize their genes and will inevitably give birth to a hero unit.
Lu Yu gave it to Egg's Reincarnation Insect Feast to spawn special hero units.
The City of Reincarnation is still too vast!
The divine artifact produced by the Broken Gear is called the "Key of Machinery," which can evolve the mechanical devices it creates and has a chance to give birth to a special mechanical core, a gift from the mechanical world.
They bypassed the blessing of the mechanical world and indirectly plundered the authority bestowed upon billions of machines by the God of Machines.
The Twins of Twilight produce two types of items: [Twilight Tears] and [Eternal Darkness Veil]. The former can increase the speed of Twilight Light, which can be stacked continuously.
The latter can increase the proficiency of dark skills, and if consumed enough times, it can condense the corresponding dark veil, which is equivalent to a fixed invisible armor.
Lu Yu gave them to Egg and Mouse.
As for the newly arrived Destiny Seal Tome, its contents are unknown, but they are estimated to be quite good.
Just digesting these profits is enough to significantly boost the overall strength of Lu Yu's gang... team.
With the false king at the bottom, no one can threaten him anymore!
"Fortune truly favors the bold."
Lu Yu shook his head, holding the Ancient Spear in his hand, which had lost its target after the Old God's original body perished. Numerous cracks appeared on it as it slowly absorbed the ancient light to repair itself.
In particular, due to the fear that Lu Yu might cause trouble again, the restoration process has been slowed down, and it will be at least several decades before it can be used again.
By then, the old gun will be somewhat useless.
Most importantly...
It was given to me by the Faceless God; it might contain a huge pit.
"The old... sun..."
Looking at the ancient spear in his hand, Lu Yu suddenly thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He knew how to maximize its benefits.
boom!
At the same time, the long river of history that had carried him forward suddenly came to a halt, and the once turbulent river of history became calm and stagnant.
It's like the calm after a raging river flows into the sea; it's not that the river has calmed down, but rather that it appears extremely small in the face of the ocean, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.
"Where has the river of history led me?"
Lu Yu looked at the chaotic, dark world before him, where not even a trace of an ancient god could be seen, nor even the dust of history remained.
His first reaction was...
Could it be that my shot, through the forbidden level, has directly transported me to the chaotic era before the birth of the main world?
Next, we need to start nurturing the Chaos God.
Then what about all my previous struggles?
Just as Lu Yu was complaining, the world before him suddenly lit up. The vast and endless silver light was like a sharp sword, cleaving the world and illuminating the entire world.
A giant moon appeared, illuminating everything, more brilliant and dazzling than anything else in the world, shining upon the long river of history, even the mother river.
This is... the moon since time immemorial!?
